A somewhat interesting read, although the author fails to give any details regarding Rails' limitations (sic) and that the article is probably just a publicity stunt.
As you can guess, as entertaining as the article is, I disagree with most of it and think the author should go back to playing guitar.
Meh.
I love this comment:
"Useless post without a concrete illustration.
Show us an example of:

- How you tried to implement it in rails.
- The rails code that "didn't work."
- The "beautiful" PHP code you created instead."

Two Montréaler guys passionate about Rails just launched a service that is likely to become very popular. Ourbis is its name and it will make your life easier if you live in or around Montréal.
Ourbis is a simple to use business locator that uses the Google Maps API to let you find businesses geographically, using a very intuitive interface.
I looked around my neighborhood and quickly located some restaurants that I didn't even know existed. There seems to be around 115000 businesses in the system so you're bound to find what you're looking for!
Check it out, my description can't do it justice.
